...needs. Thus a prime topic of conversation during Dubček's visit to Moscow was an unusual Soviet offer of $300 million or more worth of credit in hard currency. Dubček will no doubt gladly take the money, but he is also eager to make sure that the Russians do not revert from the carrot to the stick and cut off the oil and raw-material shipments upon which his country depends. As a hedge against any loss of Soviet oil, for example, he is reportedly negotiating with Iran for millions of tons...
Wherever they go, some tourists, to be sure, will find the pleasures of Mexico mixed. To enjoy the very foreignness that gives the visitors the exhilarating sense of being far away while still close to home, it is also necessary to come to terms with the special Mexican ambiente. The mañana era may be over, but it has been succeeded by hay tiempo ("there's time"). Some hotels have clocks with no hands, apparently to prove that time does not count. Sometimes hay tiempo also means late planes, canceled tours and misplaced hotel reservations...
...dividends, to be sure. At cur rent prices IBM's annual dividends ($4.35 last year) amount to a mere .7% return on investment, against 4% for other manufacturing stocks and 5% for bank savings accounts.

Wall Street seemed sure that the lat est split-like the six others in the past eleven years-was not about to break the trend. Having risen $63 between the board's January proposal of the split and last week's stockholders' meeting, IBM's stock jumped another $10.50 in four days to close the week at a record $688-an extraordinary 59 times 1967 earnings. And why not? After the last split, a 3-for-2 deal in 1966, when the stock was trading around $370, IBM shares took only eight months to 1) weather...
...have a heart of gold; Gary Cooper would never have left a wounded pal to bleed his life away in a wagon outside while he loaded up on rotgut in a saloon. That's what Will Penny does, sitting there, scruffy and stupid, upending the bottle and croaking, "Sure burns a dollar's worth." It looks as if this is going to be an interesting experiment in antiheroics amid the great open spaces...
